Chapter 12, A Ticket to Hell

Séarlait

I lurched from sleep to a blinding red light.

Koi sat up next to me, her sleepy features twisting in concern. She put a hand on my shoulder with a yawn, her fingers met with brown fur. Morning, then.

We missed the breach! Dragons shot from the meadow and fluttered through the sky like colorful stars. I buried my face in the grass, flicking my tail at Koi. This form is so much more embarrassing than being seen crying. I involuntarily shivered at the chill permeating my back after hours being pressed against the dragon shifter.

I startled at fingers curling into my side. Koi gazed at me pitifully, and I raised my head and pressed my nose to hers. She leaned away with a laugh.

“You make a cute horse.”

I knickered with a telling flick of my tail.

“Séarlait, I… My apologies. I slept through dawn. This is unforgivable.”

Seven days gone. It was getting down to the wire, but I couldn’t fault her for sleeping when I slept just as soundly beside her. If I returned home, it would be as a humen. I shuddered to think of what I would do if we didn’t break this curse.

My gaze lingered on Koi’s pouty expression.

A roar ripped through the air. We both looked up as a yellow dragon dove for us.

It took a moment for my brain to process the glint of talons as it dove. My ears shot straight up while my body froze in prey-like panic.

Koi shifted in a burst of green light and reared at the incoming dragon.

The yellow dragon’s wings shot out, bringing it to a halt mid-air. Koi landed with a roar, her wings falling around us in a protective shield.

The yellow dragon dropped to the grass and tucked in its wings. It stared at Koi, who relaxed and leaned closer. They cocked their heads in a silent conversation while I stood there and trembled like the prey I was.

“Fear not, pony.” Koi’s voice rumbled inside me. Heat radiated from her underbelly, my ears nearly touching those pale scales until she sat and revealed me to our uninvited guest. “This is my friend Vickers. He apologizes for trying to eat us and wishes to speak to you.”

Vickers crawled toward me, his twisted horns glinting in the pink rays of dawn. I backed away until my rear hit scales. How did I end up trapped between two dragons? My customers would be finding new favorite food stalls by now. I promised to buy Ayla new shoes this month.

A gravelly voice wormed into my mind. “Séarlait, is it? Come now, you can relax with me. We both have resentment toward that fiend Blalock. He has taken two of my mates this season. If I have any eggs next year, they will be fragile little things.”

“Forget eggs, I have actual little ones to take care of!” I stomped my hoof.

“You are a mother, cursed one?”

I snorted and turned my head. “I might as well be. We’ve been trying to find him all week but he keeps escaping.
